Abraham's goal would be to save the union and stop slavery. He was successful "Abraham Lincoln edited his final Emancipation Proclamation. It declared that all slaves in rebellious states not already under the Union control were now free and could join the Union army. While it did not free slaves in border states like Maryland and Kentucky, it was the first step." (93) Then in 1865 the congress made the 13 amendment which allowed all slaves to be free.

Your opinion of this person's life and accomplishments?

I think he is a honorable person that was admired by many. He was usually always calm, growing up his father didn't support him when he wanted to have a good education. Even though he had a rough childhood. He became a man many people respected and achieved many great things. I think his best accomplishment would be stopping slavery with the 13 amendment.

I would recommend this biography because it was very interesting learning about his life like how he grew up and the challenges he faced and had overcame it. One example of this would be even though he didn't go to school and had studied on his own, he got to have a big influence on the world.
